In vitro studies have shown hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) to be a potent mitogen for hepatocytes. Direct evidence of a mitogenic role in vivo was sought by inhibiting HGF activity, using continuous administration of neutralizing antibody to rats which had a stimulus for liver regeneration.

Fas-mediated apoptosis is one of the major death processes of hepatocytes in liver diseases. Although compensatory regeneration occurs during liver injury, it has not been determined whether regenerating hepatocytes die by the same apoptotic process as quiescent hepatocytes.
